RESOLUTION NO. 117 - 96
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
MAKING FINDINGS REGARDING UNEXPENDED IMPACT FEES
FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996-97
Recitals
The City has collected fees for off-site traffic improvements needed as a result of new development,
which will not be expended within five years after deposit. The improvements are described in the
1996-2001 Capital Improvement Program and include the improvements described in Recitals numbers
2 and 3 below.
Road Parallel to Southem Pacific Right-of-Way - Dougherty Road to Dublin Boulevard, Project #9686
(Scarier Drive Extension)- Deposit #1000-331-006
This project would provide a 4-lane roadway connection between Dougherty Road and Dublin
Boulevard (extending from the current Scarlett Drive intersection with Dublin Boulevard and parallel to
the Southern Pacific Railroad Right-of-Way). As of June 30, 1996, the total amount of funds collected
for this project is $12,400.00. This amount was collected by the City on January 2, 1990.
This project will not be needed until development in the Dougherty Valley (Contra Costa County)
occurs and until the future East Dublin/Pleasanton BART station, adjacent to Camp Parks, is completed.
Development in Dougherty Valley is anticipated within the next several years. The BART station is
slated for completion in 1997.
Dougherty Road Improvements (Amador Valley Boulevard North to City Limits) Project #9689 -
Deposit #1000-331-008
This project consists of constructing the ultimate noahbound lanes and median from Amador Valley
Blvd. north to the City limits. As of June 30, 1996, the total amount of funds collected for this project is
$9,328.00. This amount was collected by the City on January 2, 1990.
This project will not be needed until development in the Dougherty Valley occurs. Contra Costa County
approved an amendment to its general plan in 1992, which would permit development in the Dougherty
Valley. That amendment was challenged by two lawsuits which have now been settled. It is anticipated
that development will occur within the next several years.
The two projects described in Recitals 2 and 3 above, are referred to as the "Two Traffic Improvements."
All of the fees described above and unexpended after 5 years (paragraphs 2-3) were collected on January
2, 1990, and subject to this resolution, were collected from Dublin Meadows Parmers for the Dublin
Meadows multi-family housing project. A finding was made at the time the Dublin Meadows Project
was approved, by Council Resolution No. 33-89, that the fees were needed in order to finance the
construction of the Two Traffic Improvements. Resolution No. 33-89 further found that the purpose of
the fees was to mitigate the traffic impacts caused by the Dublin Meadows project by construction of the
Two Traffic Improvements.
Findings
The Council finds, on the basis of the foregoing Recitals, that:
A. The fees which have been collected for the Two Traffic Improvements will remain unexpended in Fiscal
Year 1996-97;
B. The fees which have been collected for the Two Traffic Improvements will remain committed for
construction of the improvements identified in the adopted Capital Improvement Program;
C. The purpose to which the fees will be put is for construction of the Two Traffic Improvements, as
described above and in the 1996 - 2001 Capital Improvement Program;
D. The fees were collected to make the Two Traffic Improvements, which improvements will mitigate
traffic impacts caused by the Dublin Meadows Project; and
E. The fees which have been collected for the Two Traffic Improvements are needed for construction of the
Two Traffic Improvements.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED THIS 15th day of October, 1996.
